Parser?

[Salitorn]

I have seen several ppl mention a parser to track skill ups and combines. I did search on the internet and didn't find many and none that I saw mentioned tradeskills. Most seem to calculate Damage per second. I was wondering which one do people here use?

I use this AWK script (kinda like Perl) that parse the log file.

BEGIN {SUCCESS = 0;
FAILURE = 0;
TRADEEVENTIDX = 0;
TRADEEVENTCOUNT = 0;
}

{
if ($0 ~ /You have fashioned the items together to create something new/) {TRADEEVENT[++TRADEEVENTIDX] = "S"};
if ($0 ~ /You lacked the skills to fashion the items together/) {TRADEEVENT[++TRADEEVENTIDX] = "F"};
if ($0 ~ /You have become better at/) {SkillStart = index($0, "(");
SkillEnd = index($0, ")");
TRADEEVENTIDX++;
TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] = "U";
SKILLUP[TRADEEVENTIDX] = substr($0, SkillStart + 1, SkillEnd - SkillStart - 1);
};
}

END {TRADEEVENTCOUNT = TRADEEVENTIDX;
for (TRADEEVENTIDX = 1; TRADEEVENTIDX <= TRADEEVENTCOUNT; TRADEEVENTIDX++) {
if (TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] == "S") {SUCCESS++;};
if (TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] == "F") {FAILURE++;};
if (TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] == "U") {NEWSKILL = SKILLUP[TRADEEVENTIDX];
TRADEEVENTIDX++;
if (TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] == "S") {SUCCESS++;};
if (TRADEEVENT[TRADEEVENTIDX] == "F") {FAILURE++;};
printf "%4s, %3s, %3s, %3s\n", NEWSKILL, FAILURE, SUCCESS, FAILURE + SUCCESS;
SUCCESS = 0;
FAILURE = 0;
};
};
}


Crude but works ok. But you'd need to clean up the log if you did other combines in between.
